You can probably switch them off if you click on announcements (top left under the title string) then adjust your settings for the sub (the wheel / circle icon top right)… if you don’t want to hear from this sub then select normal (only notified if you get a mention) or muted.

Standard notification enabling setting is “turn Watching status on if you lingered in a topic for 4 minutes”. You need to turn that off manually. Another great feature by the devs of the forum, if you ask me.

(In reply to @CCP_Falcon) I wait for your future comments about individuals that don’t live in the 21st century with proper hardware, when the DX9 phaseout is complete and all the MacOS and Linux users are left without a workaround and unsub their accounts.

If EVE was no longer was supported on Macs, I’d finally be able to win it. Can’t decide whether that is a good or bad thing.

Going to be lost w/o eve-gate. I don’t have a good enough reason to pay for a smartphone, so I don’t have one.

But I hit refresh on eve-gate mail a few times a day. Its something you can do anonymously on your own time, whereas if you log into the client you can get dragged into convos and may have to disappoint a friend, if you’re just there to check mail or intended to quickly send someone a low-priority question.

You know, denying the truth doesn’t make it go away.
Up until 4 years ago everyone that said the spy agencies are employing global mass surveillance were ridiculed and laughed at. Then came Snowden and now it’s “so what?”.

Everyone that’s got even half a clue of the world we’re living in knows that mass surveillance is ubiquitous. Most people don’t care, likely because they lack the intellect to understand why that is a very bad thing. And then there are people like you that live in their tiny filter bubbles, so far removed from reality that they could believe Donald Trump is actually a competent individual.

Let’s see if you’re still laughing once reality starts catching up with you. I sure will laugh about people like you for not heeding the warnings.

It’s not easier, but if you don’t have internet, and when you need to read from your phone, then, it’s more useful than nothing.

Is it easier to scroll on a phone? No, for some reasons, not yet.
This mostly has to do with how much info can be displayed in one screen page without scrolling.

The more info, the more technical it gets, and quite frankly, the more complex it is to understand and know about for people who don’t understand that.

I currently don’t have internet on my phone, though I used to have internet on another of my phone before. I used the EVE Gate from a tablet sometimes, as I didn’t have access to the EVE Client, or from the libraries’ desktop computers.
I’m planning to get a new phone that could do that but I’ll likely get the phone from Europe once I move there, if the battery is safe enough to use the device that is, of course.

If you want to restrict yourself from living in the 21st century by not having a phone that’s capable of accessing the internet, then that’s your call.

Log into the EVE client if you want to send mail in that case.

Dang, Falcon…really?

On one side the answer of “let those Luddites eat cake” is nonplussing, to say the least. (not to mention more than a bit ironic from a company that released a major product on a technology platform -ps3- that was already at least rapidly heading towards being obsolete hardware.)

On the other side I feel some sympathy for you personally having to be the one responding for things you didn’t make the decisions on…probably. Hang in there, and try not to let frustration get you. o/
